I do appreciate all that, and the advantages and disadvantages of bothcorded and cordless tools, but cost is the limitation as well as durability. The boatyard manager offered to let me off 3 months yard rental, I owe money to extended family and people at work even donated me cans of food. I thought the Hitachi drill I bought above for £25 had an adjustable torque control. If such a drill has not been manufactured, then ok, I will try to borrow a cordless driver, and the rest by hand. Just be careful not to break it! I am interested in the question for its own sake also. It surprises me if there are none from when cordless tools were less popular. If no-one has heard of such a thing, I also wonder why.

Hi, the project is a canal boat renovation, which I should have said. A cordless set is outside the budget, as it is extremely tight.

Hi, Do you know of any corded impact drills with an adjustable slip clutch / torque control? The intent would be for a drill also used to drive screws. I haven't found any, and I don't know why. I can only see cordless electric impact drivers / combi drills available, which I cannot justify on cost. I would rather buy good second-hand corded equipment. I have a corded Hitachi 20VB2 drill, described as having "slip clutch by areas", but apparently the UK isn't the area! Thanks, Luke
